Deadlines vary; a lawyer can confirm yours. An older diagnosis or a past filing window does not, by itself, establish whether you have a claim.
02 · Where cases are heard
Where would my case be heard?
Hawaii's geographic isolation and limited specialist population create unique challenges for Dupixent patients developing CTCL. The state has no NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center, and dermatopathology referrals are frequently sent to mainland laboratories for processing. An estimated 11,000 Hawaii residents have been prescribed Dupixent since 2017, primarily through dermatology practices in Honolulu and Maui. The Queen's Medical Center in Honolulu provides the state's most advanced oncology services, but complex cutaneous lymphoma cases are often referred to cancer centers in California or the Pacific Northwest.
Hawaii has a single federal judicial district — the District of Hawaii, headquartered in Honolulu. All federal Dupixent claims from Hawaii are filed in this court. Hawaii follows a modified comparative fault system (51 percent bar) and does not cap non-economic damages in product liability cases. Hawaii's geographic isolation from the continental U.S. creates logistical challenges for multiparty pharmaceutical litigation.
